News Box Manager v3.0.0 [Support Thread]

[shags38]

Mike, for the article title showing in bold, try updating the css to include

.news-cell > a:first-child { font-weight: bold; }

The title is the very first anchor directly present in a news-cell class element.

I'm still looking at the other styling question.

Many thanks Cindy - worked a treat.
cheers, Mike

In which directory is that latestnews.png file (noting that it should be present in the template's /images sub-directory for use by the CSS)?

Hi Cindy - it is in /images folder - so I move it to my_template/images folder ........ then in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/news_box_manager_defines.php I replaced the text 'Latest News' with <img src="includes/templates/westminster_new/images/latestnews.png" alt="latest news"> .... and all is good! So thank you.

I am now going to try to insert a smaller image in the NEWS_BOX_HEADING_TITLE row .... wish me luck

many thanks,
Mike

Hi Cindy - inserting an image in that row was easy enough (once I had the image in the right folder )

So I do not expect you to spend time on re-styling the layout of your plugin for me - putting me in the right direction will be helpful so that I can attempt to make some modifications myself (note that I said 'attempt') - it will help me to learn. So to that end if I want to negate the 'article dates' column altogether and instead include a date block within the article title row/line what files should I be looking at to make such modifications? essentially where can I modify the table layout?

again many thanks for your assistance,
cheers Mike

Mike, the common formatting is provided by /includes/templates/template_default/template/tpl_modules_news_box_format.php, so you can make a template-override copy and make your changes there.

Many thanks for that Cindy - haven't played with it yet but will soon.

One more quick one - side box heading for news box shows [MORE] and when using Inspect Element [MORE] is the link anchor text in <h3 class="leftBoxHeading" id="newsboxsideboxHeading"><a href="https://www.dazzlerscliponearrings.com.au/index.php?main_page=news_archive">&nbsp;&nbsp;[more]</a></h3> .... I have tried admin/tools/developer and gone through all files associated with the plugin and I cannot find where to change that anchor text (looks a bit strange as a heading in the sidebox).

A belated Merry Christmas to you and yours and Happy New Year also- hope 2020 is a good one for you.

cheers,
Mike

Those definitions are present in /includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/news_box_manager_defines.php.

Thanks for your kind wishes, but it wasn't my holiday. Have a safe and happy new year.

v 3.2.1

Not an issue, or a least not a big one.

I set in the admin profile for a limited admin access the [all types] to be accessed, but when going to tool > News Box Manager [all types] i get:

Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

If I select in the admin profile the type 1/2/3/4 they are accessable, yet the all types is not.
What am I missing?

Probably nothing. It'll take me a bit to research your issue.
